At Shri Ganesh Mandir in Connaught Place and later at North Avenue and Teen Murti, she offered prayers for the well-being of citizens and the capital.

“I prayed to Lord Ganesha that all undertakings in the capital and the nation be completed without obstacles, that Delhi continues to advance on the path of progress, and that no hindrance arises in the way of development,” Gupta said. She further added, “Ganesh Chaturthi is not merely a religious festival but a symbol of new energy, fresh beginnings, and positivity. Such occasions convey a message of social unity and encourage everyone to move forward collectively on the path of development.”
